Project "Endeavour"

So with a few pictures in hand it is time to post up my build thread! Been working on the car since about June when I blew it up at a lapping event. Since then, countless hours and countless dollars have been dropped into this bad boy.

As for the name... One of my good buddies (quite a sarcastic fellow) instantly noticed my large wing the first day. The conversation was as follows:
"Lord almighty, you planning to take that F*cker to the moon?"
"Yeah man! Apollo style!
"More like Endeavour... your gonna blow your s*it up"

Finally back on the road with this beast! Took some time on my last rotation to install the hood pins and put some kms on it! Pins were a slightly annoying process and I most certainly could have done a better job of them. End of the day, they are holding the hood in place, so that's all I really cared about.

Seems I can't get the dyno graph link in the first page to work (newly updated link?) What kind of numbers did you put down?
What cams are you running? 290s?

Dyno graph is still the old one from the original build. This put down the same power on paper, but I think Autodreams dyno, at the time I was on it, was a bit generous.

The power delivery is much better now than it was before, but the wastegate spring needs to be swapped for greater boost levels. Then I'll settle for 600whp; Primary goal is just to drive it this year. No more wrench time for a bit!

Pros:
All the new parts worked out awesome.
Car has super smooth power delivery across the whole range.
STACK dash is cool as hell
rebuilt tranny is orgasmic to drive
Full race ETS controller makes a noticeable difference and works well
It's fast

Cons/Quirks
Triple plate clutch is super sensitive and honestly a pain to drive on anything other than open asphalt
Idle is a bitch (sounds dope though)
Diffs, fuel pumps, fans all make for a really noisy cabin
Comfort is essentially 0
Fuel economy is that of MAC truck

Plans for this year:
New wastegate, maxed up the current ones and would like some more boost
Coilovers, only part I didn't replace.

Not yet. I'm in and out of country and need a few minor pieces. Door latch broke, mast brake cylinder is leaking etc... Home stretch of stuff and had I been home I certainly could have had it on the road. Wasn't giving it the live it needed lol.

Next summer... And I'm confident that's the last time I have to say it!
